Chapter 252 Sudden change
We didn't waste any time heading back to the city.
It was a good thing that the place where the undead were wasn't that far, so we were able to get back in two hours. That was also because we both had good carriages and strong horses, so we were able to rush back faster than most people would.
At the end, our horses were completely tired out and we had to leave them in a stable by the gate.
To my surprise, Ronnie's carriage had been allowed in without being stopped by the guards just like us.
We were able to come in without a search because of the special orders of the duke, but why was Ronnie and Ron allowed to come in that easily?
After thinking about it, I realized that it had to be the influence of their family, whichever family that was.
Since we had entered the city, this was where we would part.
After all, we couldn't just bring Ronnie and Ron with us to see the duke.
So I asked her, "What are you planning on doing now?"
Ronnie looked back at Ron who was giving her a signal with his eyes and after a nod, she turned back to say, "We'll head back to our family to report this matter. They will be able to do something about this."
I gave a nod before saying, "Alright, then let's part ways here."
There was a strange way about how Ronnie looked at me when I said this, but she still gave a nod of agreement before saying, "Then let's meet again if we're fated."
Without waiting for me to say anything, she had Ron drive the carriage away.
As she left, I couldn't help looking at her in a daze. She had used the same line that I had used when we had parted the first time, but it seemed different when she used it on me.
It was almost as if there was a certain tone to it like she was making a promise that confused me.
Still, I didn't have too much time to think about this since it was a critical time now.
The one other thing that I noted as she was heading off was that I could have sworn that I saw a hint of blue on her hair. Then when I looked down at my hand, I saw a black patch that was on it.
I couldn't help feeling like I had seen this kind of blue hair somewhere before.
Shaka tapped me on my shoulder to bring me back from my thoughts.
I shook my head and said, "I'm fine."
Then with that, we headed off to the duke's manor.
As soon as we arrived, to our surprise...we were actually asked to wait.
Normally, when we came to the duke's manor, we would be shown in right away.
Of course, every time we came was when we had been expected by the duke in the first place.
The duke was a very busy person naturally since he was someone that ran this entire city. He wasn't someone that was free to meet with people whenever they arrived and most people would need to book a meeting with him.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had been waiting for us, we never would have met the duke so quickly.
So the fact that we were made to wait wasn't that strange.
But not long after we arrived, we were quickly shown to the duke's office.
We were surprised to find that not only the duke, but his daughter, and several knights in armour were all there.
The moment that they saw us come in, the knights looked at us with narrowed eyes that seemed to have some kind of hostility.
We were naturally confused by this, but Shaka also moved forward to stand in between me and the knights when he saw this.
Before anything could happen though, the duke suddenly raised his hand and said, "Stop it. We're not here to mess around, we have more important things to do."
The duke waved his hand at us and said, "Baron Zwein, please come over here with your friend."
The two of us were surprised by the duke's serious tone, but we walked over to the desk as he had requested. Once we had made our way over, the duke placed a sheet of paper in front of us and asked, "Were you two responsible for this?"
We looked down and found that it was a report from some scouts under the duke.
However, the most surprising thing was the content of the report.
The reports read that...the undead were currently on the march and heading towards the city.
Both Shaka and I immediately knitted our brows when we read this and we didn't say anything in response to this.
After all, neither of us could understand why the situation had suddenly developed in this way.
As far as I knew, the demons shouldn't have known about us sneaking since they didn't chase after us as we left the mountain...or could it be that they already knew something and they hadn't chased so they could move the undead?
Regardless of why they had moved the undead, the fact of the matter was that the undead were currently moving and we had to come up with a way to deal with them...
As I was thinking, there was something that suddenly caught my attention.
It was out of the corner of my eyes, but I saw a colour that seemed familiar.
It was the colour of Veronica, the duke's daughter's hair.
When I saw it, I couldn't help feeling that it was very familiar, like I had seen it somewhere before.
Veronica had also noticed my gaze on her, so she turned her head as if she was afraid of looking at me.
The duke noticed that something strange was going on, so he asked, "What is going on here?"
Before I could say anything, Veronica suddenly said, "It was my fault. I was the one that had stirred them."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
